    You can 2 a day at different sites, but they muist be different time frames. You can never shop the same site twice in a row regardless of shop month. No more than 6 in a month unless you get some special assignments as well. There used to be a rule about doing no more than 33% of the total shops at a site in a calender year as well.

    Patience and perserverance - Once you have established yourself with a company as being a reliable shopper you have more leverage with fee's.

    Hi, can anyone tell me what the bank jobs are like for gfk, I do not bank with this certain bank. Thanks in advance.:beer:

    I have done loads of them. They are really easy. I take it you are talking about the enquiry on switching your current account. Report is easy too. Let me know if you need more help and I will help you out.

    Hi
    Question about the banks on GFK. When you have done one can you do others. As I read it , it says they will have your name on their database, so do you use a fake name and address to do others.

    I've done loads for the same bank and use a different name each time, you just have to remember who you said you were!

    I'm a bit confused by this as the current ones say you must be prepared to use your real name and address :confused: or do you just ignore that?
  • Oh, don't think I've seen those ones. A lot of the time they don't put anything in to the computers, so maybe it might be one of those. Someone else will be along with better info I'm sure!

    I did that too, but now find that for some of the jobs where there are options to go more than once with a different enquiry that I'm coming unstuck as I would like to do a different scenario for the same branch, but fearful that the original staff member will recognise me and be very puzzled (or clock me as the mser!) that I'm using a different name!
